Members IRG Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 Anyone have one? This is a germanium based overdrive, I always forget how this compares to a silicon based overdrive. Anyway, I like the clips of this pedal a lot. Anyone have one, and comments to make? Anything it compares to, or tones that is apprpximates? Pretty cheap to at $120. I'm also considering the SubDecay Liquid Sunshine and possibly the Stupid Box too. I'm in a dirt mood lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jake.lind Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 Silicon is supposed to be brighter and more saturated, while germanium, while not "darker" is less bright (more neutral), and less saturated. I think that might only apply to fuzz faces and tonebenders, though. But anyways, that germanium overdrive did sound cool. I wish there were clips!

Members johnrambo Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 it's a fairly bright and gritty overdrive but not overly bright. i can use it with a tele neck pickup without rolling back the tone and still get a sound i like. it'll do a low gain sound all the way up to fuzz, not a muff like long sustain fuzz but a nastier type thing.

I wish there were clips! There are some clips on their site, did you see them? Are the Monterpiece NPN/Classic pedals that Richard makes on this forum, silicon based? I think they must be, as they seem a lot brighter than my Big Muff, or my Screwdriver. I tend to like the darker type of overdrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, not sure they how I would like this or not - my Monterpiece combo may have this covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
